Scale and Age: the oak stump, while over 4 feet in diameter across its wider portion, is a mere 140-150 years old. Compare that to the reclaimed southern yellow pine beam, which as a tree was over 220 years old when felled, and yet only 16" in diameter. Both, in the afterlife, have met their maker. Mucho gusto!

Bien Hecho Academy

Started in winter 2014, Bien Hecho Brooklyn is proud to introduce the Bien Hecho Academy. Spearheaded by John Randall (Owner/Founder of Bien Hecho) in collaboration with Tim Dowse (3rd Ward), the Bien Hecho Academy is a series of brand new woodworking courses that not only offer a solid education in the fundamentals of woodworking, but also provide insight into the complete process of creating fine furniture, from tree all the way to the last coat of finish. The Bien Hecho Academy is currently offering 2 sections of the "introduction to woodworking" course meeting on either Tuesday or Thursday nights. We look forward to seeing you in the Navy Yard, and make sure to watch out for new classes and updates here on www.bienhechoacademy.com and on our blog!
